Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

@auser @sociology it's NOT my opinion. Don't blame the messenger.

I only quote established social researchers. It's the result of meta research on studies about conservatism.

@auser @sociology the problem with conservatism is that the tradidion is based on maintaining power relations, while the general perception is that it is based on traditional values and norms.

@auser @sociology

That is the prevailing misconception. Social Research show it's more about hierarchy and power structures.

Conservatism isn't about preserving traditional values. That's a huge misconception.

Conservatism is primarily and solely about maintaining or gaining power over others.

In these troubling times, overwhelmed by numerous dark concerns, it's easy to feel lost and disoriented.

More attention to Mindfulness can help to transform your life by cultivating awareness, befriending your body and mind, and connecting with core values.

The Art and Science of Curiosity.

The world is changing faster than ever. And it can feel like it’s impossible to keep up.

Curiosity can help us keep up. When we experiment and stay open to uncertainty, we’re better equipped to handle whatever comes our way.

The lotus flower, with its symbolic significance, represents purity, beauty, strength, and endurance in Buddhism.
Originating from muddy water, it ascends to the surface, unveiling its beauty.

As a Buddhist symbol, it epitomizes enlightenment and the spiritual awakening from the world's suffering.

When differing views or opinions arise, it's not about right or wrong. Each perspective holds its own relevance.

Embracing diverse viewpoints can lead to richer, more meaningful discussions, and a deeper understanding of the world around us.
